The only game superseding my excitement for Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed II is Ubisoft's Splinter Cell: Conviction. Sam Fisher has left Third Echelon and, is TOTALLY BADASS and on a mission.
Is it me, or is that production manager lady smokin' hot? Damn, why haven't I moved to Canada yet? And she's got a job involving video games? I can get down with that for sure...
The more I see of Splinter Cell: Conviction, the more I need to be playing it. This preview has Sam Fisher performing some mean Jack Bauer interrogation stuff.
The Tokyo Game Show has began yesterday and the video trailer blitz from the gaming media has begun. I've posted some of the trailers for the games I'm excited about.
My most anticipated for sure is Splinter Cell: Conviction which has a confirmed release date of 2/23/2010. Yay!
E3 2009 is upon us and lots of exciting gaming news is now flooding the interwebs. Ubisoft, one of my favorite publishers, has just released two preview vids for the event.
The 1st one is for the much delayed Splinter Cell: Conviction. I've been following this series from the start and I highly recommend it. The story of Sam Fisher is an intriguing one, and this latest chapter looks to turn many of the series' normal conventions on it's ear.
"What happens next is up to you" Great line.
This 2nd vid, another buzzed about sequel, is for Assassin's Creed 2. Although the original didn't quite live up to the initial expectations of the gaming press, I believe this game showed a lot of promise, especially in the series' narrative department. We're all hoping this sequel can correct some of the gripes people had, while still keeping it's "stalk your prey" feel.
As for this trailer, I'm excited to see where this property goes this time around. The badassery of the game's two protagonists alone make them comparable to today's hollywood action roles. Look at the Ezio from Assassin's Creed 2. His character design is off the chain. If you've played the original, you can already imagine how rad this guy is going to look hopping rooftops. I'm most definitely gonna be hittin' the stores on release day when these games come out...
